Springtime blessings… with Zakia

Available for 20 days

DJ, broadcaster, writer and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensions… Zakia celebrates the Spring Equinox - the first day of spring - as the wheel of the year turns ever on. We welcome in the light with lots of folky selections, leaning heavily into the pagan-adjacent sounds of the late 60s folk revival including Dream Time favourites Pentangle, Davy Graham, Vashti Bunyan and Donovan. There’s some new releases from Tara Clerkin Trio, Enji and Green-House, and an ode to springtime from the legendary Sun Ra. Plus, we hear from the Black British Folk Collective - a trio of musicians and researchers made up of Angeline Morrison, Bianca Wilson and Marcus MacDonald. They tell us a bit about their work, their Equinox rituals and each pick a song that’s important to them. We want to hear your dreams!
